Madcap Coffee Company

I love places like this if you love good coffee / espresso this is definitely the place to go. They know what they're doing although it may be on the pricier side I think that's just because of the location the espresso is worth it staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about how to make it for me this is a must stop place if I'm in Grand rapids. You won't see me walking away without buying some for home thank you for a delicious cup of coffee to wake me up in the morning can't wait to come back.

This is definitely a place for authentic coffee lovers. Their espresso was incredible but I wasn't used to the way they made the drink for what it was. No flavorings from what I could read in the menu, no added sugar or whatever either. They have a lot of options for people who want to buy whole bean coffee too! It was honestly a really nice experience but it might not be everyone's favorite. Personally I loved it.

Nice coffee shop. I had the cinnamon latte with oat milk. Seemed to be a little cheaper than other shops. And served in a real ceramic cup. Nice vibe. Overall good spot for coffee.

My wife and I searched to find the best coffee shop in the Grand Rapids area, and I think we found it(prove me wrong). Loved the atmosphere of the shop, the varietals of coffee and the seasonal drinks. Came back for more a couple days later, had a couple of drips, a seasonal and a cappuccino. Enjoyed the coffee very much!

Typical downtown coffee shop. Quiet place to sit and relax. It is a bit more expensive than other coffee places around.
Buyer beware; if you get a coffee to go, it will be much smaller than what you would normally get in store. You can see it in my photos. They were the same price and "same size." Definitely not worth it.

I’ve tried a lot of coffee in GR and this place has the best tasting espresso. I ordered a mocha and was impressed with the rich flavor of the espresso and ratio of milk. Staff was very friendly and there’s some nice lounging space.

can’t go a week without a visit to this cafe. baristas and staff are phenomenal and super sweet. their espresso (available to purchase as well) is top tier. I noticed that I am picky when it comes to espresso and coincidentally out my two favorite coffee shops in GR, both use the La Marzocco espresso machine. If that means anything to you this is your place, if it doesn’t stop in anyway to taste what I’m talking about. I do recommend coming in earlier though, this place is a hot spot on the weekends especially. and try the cafe miel! It’s a favorite i can’t get away from.
p.s. they don’t charge you for alternative milk options. I never understood the insane up charge for milk that actually suits my stomach, here you don’t have to worry about that

The latte here was amazing. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. This is the type of place where they really care about the quality of each drink they put out. The only reason I did not give this place five stars was because the ham a gruyere croissant was very stale.

Stopped my Madcap during the ArtWalk (for which its location is absolutely perfect for people-watching). We'd been tooling around for a couple of hours and all in our party agreed that a corner spot with outdoor seating was just the break we needed.

The caffé latte was just perfect - the sweet spot between weak and bitter - and especially appreciated by the elderly imbiber.

We shared two pour-overs: the local area code-inspired Six One Six and the Santa Lucia (described as a brighter varietal). Both were delightfully drinkable; robust and full-bodied without any hint of bitter, heavy-handed roasting. A win black and with a touch of cream.

Our fourth, appreciated the large plastic cups for the filtered water. So thank you for that as well, Madcap. It was a very worthwhile fly-by, to be repeated.

Best coffee and service around! Their sister location in Detroit is just as good.
